Book Reviews of Silent In The Grave
Book Review: (3.5 stars) ignore the inital similarity with "And only to Deceive" this novel takes off to be its own book
Summary: 3 Stars
Upon reading the first chapter of "Silent in the Grave" I was immediately struck with the similarity to another novel, "And only to Deceive." Both are mysteries narrated by the wives of dead husbands living in the late Victorian period, both go on to investigate those deaths and both come to the conclusion that not only did they not really know their husband, but they had no clue of who they were either.
Seems familiar, no? Luckily this book is saved by the charming and often funny narration of Lady Julia, the heroine of this novel and her very odd and very large family. They make the book far more than the mystery does (though I have to admit the scene were Lady Julia confronts the murderer s very well done in a way I can't say or it will spoil it for you.)
All in all an enjoyable mystery. I look forward to the next novel in the series.
Three point five stars.
